Q: What is the root password ?
A: There is none. You can switch to root with sudo -i or set a password for root with sudo passwd.
Q: What is the user password ?
A: The user password for casper is 'live' (in previous casper releases it was 'debian').
Q: Where to set the username or the hostname ?
A: casper uses default username 'casper' and hostname 'live'. You can specify them by passing 'username=' and 'hostname=' as kernel parameters. (In previous casper releases it was 'host='). Look at DebianLive/casper-manpage.

A Debian Live system is a Debian operating system that does not require a classical installer to use it. It comes on various media, including CD-ROM, USB sticks, or via netboot. Why Debian Live?
Although the Debian Live project is about the framework to create your own customized Live system, we offer some prebuilt images. Currently, builds for three desktop environments (GNOME, KDE and Xfce) as well as the standard system are available.

Getting GNOME 2.18
LiveCD and Disk Images for Virtual Machines
To download and preview the latest version of GNOME, try our easy LiveCD. Download, burn, and reboot - Without touching your current system, it just shows you the latest and greatest in GNOME and beyond.
You can alternatively download a disk image, and launch GNOME in a virtual machine using your favorite virtualization software. You don't even have to leave your current system to try out GNOME!
The LiveCD and the disk images contain all of our supported languages.

GNOME 2.18 (Simply Beautiful)
GNOME 2.18 is out, on time as usual. The top-class free desktop for the masses looks and feels better than ever. This is another progressive release in our road to perfection. It integrates another load of improvements done in the visual design, the performance of the desktop components, and the growing collection of integrated applications. The web browser and the themeable window manager are two good examples to check.

The GNOME Demos and LiveCD contain all the latest and greatest GNOME software and provide a great way to test GNOME without requiring to install it on your PC.
GNOME offers a number of different ways to test or try GNOME in the environment of your choice. These are all "Live" systems, meaning full Linux systems with GNOME included using various virtualization technologies. The current Live Media for download are based on GNOME 2.18 (release notes).

CD version : download and try it now!
A full-featured Mandriva Linux system held on 1 CD, ready for your office, internet and multimedia needs. Try it safely by simply inserting it onto your CD or DVD drive (Live mode), and install it when you decide, from the Desktop!

The GNOME live medias (GLM) are CDs, DVDs, images, etc. and contain all the latest and greatest GNOME software. They provide a great way to test and show of GNOME without requiring to install it on your PC.

Big Picture
The goal of this project is to create a LiveCD to demonstrate GNOME. The initial motivation was to be able to send a GNOME LiveCD to journalists and news agencies so that they can test and talk about GNOME without installing it, but others have expressed interest as well. The infrastructure for this will be flexible, so that it can be easily customized and re-targetted- for example, to distribute a version with a custom splashscreen for a specific conference, to change the language for distribution by non-en_US gnome groups, or to change the software set to market to different groups (artists, developers, etc.)
A VMPlayer version is being developed at GnomeVMPlayer
